Manchester United 4-1 Fenerbahce player ratings: Who was YOUR man of the match at Old Trafford?

Paul Pogba scored his second and third United goals since returning to the club including a scorching drive from 25 yards

Manchester United romped to a 4-1 victory against Fenerbahce in the Europa League to move to six points in Group A.

Paul Pogba scored his second and third United goals since returning to the club including a scorching drive from 25 yards to make it 3-0 just before the break.

He earlier scored from the spot, as did Anthony Martial as the Red Devils cruised against former player Robin van Persie and teammates.

Jesse Lingard completed United's scoring after the break with a spectacular of his own from long range, before Van Persie got on the scoresheet from Emmanuel Emenike's cross to net a consolation on his return to Old Trafford.

Here are the full player ratings from the Theatre of Dreams...

Manchester United

De Gea had a relatively simple evening

De Gea 6 - Relatively untroubled but produced two smart stops to deny Souza

Darmian 6 - May not be at Old Trafford for too much longer but turned in a solid display on his return to first-team action

Smalling 6 - Untroubled, cleaned up when he had to before being hooked at half-time

Bailly 6 - More attractive on the ball than his centre-half partner but defended lazily as Emenike crossed for Van Persie

Shaw 7 - Impressive on his return to the starting XI - gives Mourinho a headache ahead of the trip to Chelsea

Carrick 7 - Stupendous long ball for Juan Mata who won the first penalty but was caught in possession to give Souza a great chance

Pogba 9 -MOTM. Was composed from the penalty spot then scored a truly special goal from 25 yards to take his tally to three since his return

Mata 8 - Won the first penalty with a wonderful first touch from Carrick's pass and made the second one with a brilliant through ball of his own for Martial

Rooney 6 - Played a key role in Pogba's second with a crucial interception was largely on the periphery on his return to the starting XI

Lingard 8 - Produced a sublime assist for Pogba's wonder strike before an impressive hit of his own from similar distance

Martial scores from the spot

Martial 7 - Should've scored from Mata's pinpoint cross midway through the first half but made amends from the spot shortly afterwards
